D Bellis Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Totally stoked about the latest parts order placed this evening. That high will ride a again when the early tailplanes are ready, although I might have to wait for the observer/radar stations to be ready, too, before I part with my monthly modeling budget once again. So much cool stuff for such a long neglected favorite of mine. S'ok, though, because I have enough to keep me busy until all of the Beaufighter pieces are ready to fall into place. Besides, after decades of waiting and several fails to scratch the stuff myself, what's a few more weeks of waiting for such amazing stuff? Then there will be that same excited anticipation of watching the 1/24 P-51D stuff come to fruition. It's right on the cusp of getting into 'beyond my wildest dreams' territory...

Out2gtcha Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Wowie! Those trailing edges are so thin they are nearly translucent. To me, one of the hardest things to achieve "from the factory" is scale fidelity. D Bellis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reconspit Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 ...awesome..., I need a set... Model_Monkey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Indeed, well done! I'm reaching my modeling budget limit for a long while with some recent purchases, but still really want to pick up some more Beaufighter parts. I'd love to be able to pick up a set of tail planes, but also am hoping to get a Brit 18 in torpedo. Is the torpedo still being done? I'd love to combine shipping on those two if possible. I know the observer section will be coming evantually, but I'm hoping by then I can build my hobby finances a bit. Model_Monkey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't done so, please subscribe to the Model Monkey website to be sure to receive new product announcements. When those designs are complete, they will certainly be announced. Thanks again!

Pete Fleischmann Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 As soon as the radio operators station is done, I will send you all of my money Cockpit and tailplanes as well- I have not been this excited about aftermarket stuff in a long time!
